Consider this.
One of the popular conspiracy theories in South Korea is that Japan helps North Korea because it is in the best interest of Japan to keep Korea divided. So maybe a rogue splinter group of Japanese "volunteers" with high tech weaponry show up in the Peoples Army. Farfetched perhaps, but it could be a shock to the a player used to the diet of T-62 mods and inaccurate artillery.
I've been hearing loosely about that for some years, yes, but I didn't know it was an actual "conspiracy theory" in the public mind.
Now given the credibility of a full-fledged conventional war between North and South in the near future , I don't see why you should rule the Japanese element out!

Possibly as some kind of tech transfer though, I don't think there would be that many 'volunteers'. Even high-tech weaponry may be a bit showy, but the most plausible elements (cash, intel, diplomacy) aren't in the scope of the game.
